"I knew Bristol Manor Farm would do well in this league. When they were in the Western League with us they were always good, they just struggled to get out of it.

"They still have quite a few of the players that were playing then, so it will be a tough game. They've a couple of really good players so hopefully we can keep them quiet. My boys will be up for it definitely."

Manor Farm have scored 19 goals in six league games to date, while also conceding 10 in the same period.

Ward's side will have to be on top of their game to keep out the potent attack if they want to record their first home win of the season, and pick up three points for the first time since a 2-1 away victory at AFC Totton on August 26.

"We are looking to pick up more points, especially at home," he said.

"It will be another tough match because they score goals for fun. Hopefully we can keep them out and get a couple for ourselves."
